DOGE v. American People

🔴 UPDATE: April 10, 2025

GOP Revives Jim Crow Tactics with “SAVE Act” to Suppress Millions of Voters

The House just passed one of the most dangerous voting bills in modern history. The so-called “SAVE Act” would force Americans to produce specific documents—like passports or birth certificates—just to register to vote. Millions don’t have them. That includes seniors, rural voters, married women, and working-class Americans who can’t afford the paperwork maze or its hidden costs.

All to solve a “problem” that doesn’t exist. Voter fraud—especially by noncitizens—is virtually nonexistent. Even right-wing think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute admit it. But the GOP doesn’t care. This isn’t about integrity. It’s about power.

Paul Weyrich, architect of the modern right, said it best: “Our leverage in the elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” The SAVE Act is that strategy in action.

Key Developments:

• The House passed the SAVE Act 220–208, requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote—a burden that could block 21 million eligible Americans from the ballot box.

• The bill would criminalize election officials for registering voters who lack documentation—even if they turn out to be legal citizens.

• Researchers estimate more than 9% of voting-age citizens lack acceptable documentation. The burdens fall hardest on married women, the elderly, veterans, tribal citizens, and Americans in rural or disaster-stricken areas.

• Even Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute research shows voter fraud—especially non-citizen voting—is virtually nonexistent. In states like Georgia and Arizona, with millions of voters, confirmed cases can be counted on one hand.

• Kansas's similar law was struck down in court after it blocked 31,000 eligible citizens from registering to vote. The SAVE Act could do that nationwide.

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?

The robber barons and election deniers win again. By targeting communities least likely to jump through bureaucratic hoops, the GOP is deliberately narrowing the electorate. This isn’t just voter suppression—it’s voter erasure. And all to stop a fraud that doesn’t exist. Weyrich would be proud. Trump just turned it into law.

🔍 Why This Matters: When the GOP tells you it’s about “election integrity,” remember the receipts: Even their own data says there is no fraud. This is about power—about silencing millions of working Americans who might vote against the very robber barons gutting their wages, healthcare, and futures.

🚨 The Bottom Line: This isn’t governance. It’s sabotage. And the Republican Party is using the oldest trick in the book—keep voters out, then call it “security.” But no matter how they dress it up, this is the 21st century return of Jim Crow.
